Badminton racquets are generally made of wood, aluminum or graphite and titanium mesh. The wood models are usually heavier, while the titanium badminton racquets are the lightest and strongest. You need a racquet with a good rubberized grip that is the right size and weight for you. Racquets come in various lengths, weights, tensions and stiffnesses. Lighter racquets allow you faster reflex and reaction time and longer shafts give you more reach and power. The string, which is usually titanium or synthetic, is also an important part of the racquet. Different types of string, and the string's tension, have different response properties. There are also children's models available and racquets come in various materials, sizes, weights and colors.
